In many ways, Novak Djokovic has turned into the old guard of world tennis. With Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal not really in the picture, it has been the Serb all the way and for young competitors, Novak has truly evolved as the ultimate challenge.

Ben Shelton began the US Open ranked 47th but will break into the top 20 for the first time Monday after making his first Grand Slam semi-final.

Djokovic fell agonisingly short of matching Margaret Court’s all-time mark for most Grand Slam singles titles when he lost to Alcaraz in five sets in the Wimbledon final in July.

This year, Djokovic has won two Grand Slams; the Australian Open and the French Open. He also reached the Wimbledon finals, where he was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz.
